Urediniospores are dikaryotic and represent the asexual cycle, re-infecting the Background. landscape of the crop - critical aspects of the life cycle of the pathogen, Hemileia vastatrix, remain unclear. Growth of year 1 Blossoming on nodes produced in year 1 Ripening of berries and harvest Blossoming on nodes produced in year 2. We have conducted further investigations of the life cycle of and mode of perennation of this fungus, with special emphasis on nuclear behaviour. F and Van Asch, M. 1995. In another study, disease and insect attacks were more prevalent under single species tree canopies than under mixed canopies, supporting the hypothesis that tree diversity minimizes the risks of pest outbreaks (Bos et al., 2007a,bBos et al., 2007aBos et al., 2007b,c). leaves. Amongst them, copper containing fungicides The fungal life cycle is a complex and ingenious one, where organisms asexually produce thousands of tiny spores (reproductive bodies) that can travel in water, rain, or air and remain viable for long distances (Kushalappa and Eskes 1989; Gouveia and others 2005). It is commonly suggested that as a consequence of this disease, Britain became a tea-drinking society (Ainswort, 1969), although other social and economic factors probably also played a role in this transition (Madden, 2013). Because photosynthesis provides the most essential carbohydrates for the proper metabolic functioning of the plant, any disease adversely affecting the leaves take a big toll on production. Hernandez Nopsa, ... K.A. The most striking differences can be found in flowering plants whose genome size varies between 64 Mb (Genlisea spp. Symptoms appear as orange-yellow powdery spots on the lower side of the leaves. Finally, a better understanding Urediniospores initiate infections that develop into lesions that produce more urediniospores. As coffee is often the only source of income for many farmers and their communities in these regions, losses on this scale have had serious socioeconomic consequences. Low- or no-shade systems generally require higher chemical and labor inputs (Jha et al., 2011). One of the most important agricultural crops in the world is coffee, and Hemileia vastatrix, its most economically important disease, has spread throughout the coffee-growing regions of the world causing enormous damage. this ubiquitous fungus is impossible, avoiding catastrophe 43: 97-103. Urediniospores and teliospores are produced in the same sorus, but at different times. Several leaf diseases on trees carrying a crop may result in photosynthesis being unable to meet the demands of the developing crop. limit the amount the growth of woody tissue that gives rise Many lineages from the Icatu and Sarchimor germplasms, for example, have problems such as a high proportion of shell beans and poor beverage quality, whereas others from the same germplasm show superior quality profiles (Sera, 2001). Mycologia 59: 279–285. J.J. Burdon, ... P.H. Despite the fact that coffee rust was first investigated scientifically more than a century ago, and that the disease is one of the major constraints to coffee production - constantly changing the socio-economic and historical landscape of the crop - critical aspects of the life cycle of the pathogen, Hemileia vastatrix, remain unclear.. This reduced photosynthetic capacity and the heavy carbohydrate sink created by fruits DISEASE: Coffee leaf rust. It combines resistance to major diseases of coffee, coffee berry disease (CBD), and CLR with high yield, fine quality, and compact growth adapted to high planting density. plantations in South America. RAJENDREN 1 has recently published observations on the nuclear life cycle of Hemileia vastatrix in which he describes penetration of the leaf as occurring by means of a ``bifid infection peg'' produced from an appressorium, which he considers does not lie over a stoma. Second, Therefore, the following A total of 9234 transcripts were identified and annotated. Life cycle of Hemileia vastatrix American Phytopathological Society. An example of the accidental reunification of pathogen and host is seen in Impatiens parviflora from Central Asia and the Himalayas, which after its escape from botanical gardens in Europe in 1837, gradually became a dominant species of nutrient-rich forests in Europe. Non-chemical control consists of appressoria from within the stomatal cavity. Coffee F and Van Asch, M. 1994. New leaves are affected after the older ones have fallen. The fungus, Hemileia vastatrix, exists primarily as mycelium, uredia, and uredospores in infected leaves that they infect continuously and successively. Smaller-scale differences can be found for simpler eukaryotes such as filamentous fungi, with genome sizes ranging between 22 and 160 Mb in the two ascomycete species Baudoinia compniacensis and Golovinomyces orontii, respectively (Ohm et al., 2012; Spanu et al., 2010). 1995). Fungicidal sprays are used to control CLR, because earlier attempts to utilize resistance were frustrated by the occurrence of many different mutations of the pathogen; until recently, resistance to all these was not available (Rodrigues et al., 1975). Overall, results showed that even if these varieties are composite between several advanced lines (F5 and F6), their sensory profile cannot be differentiated from groups of traditional varieties like Caturra, Typica, or Bourbon. for teliospore formation and peak urediosorus production Rust uredia in recent (A) and in older infections (B) of the lower side of coffee leaves. However, the patchy track record of biological control programs emphasizes the inherent unpredictability of pathogen–host interactions and the very strong likelihood that far more dispersal events occur than are ultimately successful. M; Whan, J and Merriman P. The effect of temperature on the in India. 14(7): 589-592. This phase lasts approximately 15–30 years and varies by region. Coutinho, T; Rijkenberg, 18. Leaf contours and the Crop Protection. to the next season's crop. Nevertheless, it is clear that a diversified food-and-cash-crop livelihood strategy is possible (Tscharntke et al., 2011). on its tropical habitat, H. vastatrix produces water (Mabbett, 1998). In 1970 the disease appeared for the first time in the western hemisphere, in Brazil, and has since been steadily spreading into the world's most important coffee-producing countries of South and Central America, where all commercial coffee cultivars are susceptible to the rust. Stem Second short internode First short internode. 170-171. One lesion produces 4–6 spore crops over a 3–5 month period releasing 300–400… Almost all the classic examples of these emerging diseases come from agricultural situations where, over the centuries, crop species have been introduced and grown (often over large areas) in regions far from the original center of diversity of the crop as well as its coevolved pathogens. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. (Mabbett, 1998). Intensified coffee systems may include some shade (Figure 2), but the height and shade cover is greatly reduced. Overall accumulated experience indicates that quality can strongly fluctuate in progenies obtained even from parents originally exhibiting high cup quality profiles. The capacity of rust fungi to become globally invasive species threatening all major production areas of the host crop is further illustrated by the rust diseases of coffee and soybeans. Leakey, in Multifunctional Agriculture, 2017. Intensive systems generally do produce more coffee per ha; however, it is unclear whether these increases result from increased planting densities, use of sun-tolerant varieties, or other aspects of management. Shade has been found to be more beneficial in the dry season and should be reduced by pruning in the wet season (Staver et al., 2001). It mainly attacks the leaves and is only rarely found on young stems and fruit. Examples of these situations are found in agricultural (e.g., the Irish potato famine of the 1840s driven by the appearance of Phytophthora infestans; the first appearance of stripe rust of wheat caused by Puccinia striiformis in Australia in 1979), horticultural (e.g., the collapse of the coffee industry in Ceylon in the nineteenth century due to the impact of Hemileia vastatrix), and forestry (Dothistroma blight of Pinus radiata) plantings. Mabbett, T. 1998. effective. Rust is now present in virtually all coffee growing regions of the country, causing significant losses (Zambolim, 2016). Hemileia vastatrix is a very unusual rust fungus. Coutinho et al. Consequently, the relationship of TEs to genome size is dramatic in plants, with 10–20% of TEs for small-genome species such as Brachypodium distachyon and up to 85% TEs in large-genome species such as maize or barley. Garrett, in Encyclopedia of Agriculture and Food Systems, 2014. Life cycle and disease symptoms: Hemileia vastatrix is a hemicyclic fungus with the urediniosporic life cycle as its most important (if not only) source of inoculum. an appressorium wedge develops. During the 1990s it spread to Africa, and then, in 2001 appeared in Paraguay. 1982. every coffee producing region except Hawaii. central and western Africa.5 H. vastatrix can survive only on plants of the genus Coffea, and a few closely allied genuses. On the other hand, coffees that originated from the Ethiopian and Sudan regions, such as Geisha and Rume Sudan, are considered as wild or semiwild selections, which are adapted to supply niche markets because of their low productivity. It is generally agreed that the rust does not complete its life cycle on the coffee tree, but no alternate host is known (Coutinho et al 1995). Third, following appressorium formation, a structure dubbed Coffee rust, the most destructive disease of coffee (Agrios, 2005), was reported for the first time in 1861 (Lake Victoria, Kenya) in wild coffee. In this case, although the disease has caught up with the invasive host, and affects host demography, host range expansion still continues. In eukaryotes, the genome size is largely independent of the organism complexity or its gene number. This process of ‘technification’ in Latin America initially began as a response to the arrival of coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix), a devastating fungal disease of coffee. it passes through fewer stages than the familiar Puccinia Currently, the results of the programs using Grade A (complete) resistance derived from “Catimor” are being used in Colombia and Kenya where commercial cultivars have been released. Programs to control invasive plant species through the deliberate release of pathogens collected from their native range provide many examples of explosive epidemic increase with significant impacts on the targeted host species, for example, Maravalia cryptostegiae, Uromycladium tepperianum, Puccinia chondrillina, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and Entyloma ageratinae attacking Cryptostegia grandiflora (Australia), Acacia saligna (South Africa), Chondrilla juncea (Australia), Miconia calvescens (Tahiti), and Ageratina riparia (New Zealand), respectively (Vogler and Lindsay, 2002; Wood and Morris, 2007; Cullen, 2012; Meyer et al., 2008; Barton et al., 2007). Removal of shade trees has been found to lower the abundance and richness of birds of most guilds, including insectivorous species (Philpott and Bichier, 2012); conversely, the abundance of insectivorous birds was greatest when the canopy cover was dense and species-rich, and there was some dead vegetation. During the 1870s, Ceylon, a former British colony known today as Sri Lanka, was the largest coffee producer in the world, satisfying the demand for the former British Empire's preferred hot beverage (Campbell and Madden, 1990; Fletcher, 2011). infection processes only occur between 15-30  C (Brown For this reason, such regions are mostly unsuitable for growing Arabica coffee. Teliospores of Hemileia vastatrix. During the last two decades of the 19th century, much of the Arabica coffee introduced into Sri Lanka and Indonesia was destroyed by CLR disease. Over time, selection for traits other than disease resistance, combined with agronomic practices that favor pathogen increase (high nutrition and large, dense, and genetically uniform stands), make the crop particularly vulnerable to attack. All species of Coffea show some resistance to H. vastatrix, although the degree of resistance varies greatly. Yet, despite numerous published studies on H. vastatrix, its life cycle remains incompletely known. inoculation between 21-29  C in the presence of free (Ferreira and Boley, 1991; Brown et al. Appressorium formation by Hemileia  This 1.3). Rajendren RB (1967) A new type of nuclear life cycle in Hemileia vastatrix. that this organ may serve as an attachment device in the Berry Disease. Sufficient tree pruning, good site selection, and use of resistant varieties help minimize losses from the rust. DISEASE: Coffee leaf rust. In addition, shade trees also provide breeding sites for beneficial insects, such as midges, which are pollinators of cocoa (Young, 1982, 1983Young, 1982Young, 1983). (2013) pointed to the possibility to select, among the Ruiru 11 components, some hybrid lines combining both high cup quality and CBD resistance. The selection was made from thousands of genotypes derived from germplasms such as Catuaí, Mundo Novo, Icatu, Catimor, Sarchimor, Catucaí, and more recently a number of experimental selections. A total of 9234 transcripts were identified and annotated. 1995). Finally, Then it was reported in Ceylon in 1869, where the disease took 28 years to change the agroecosystem (Staples, 2000). At the beginning of the 1980s, the necessity to develop resistant Arabica varieties to the coffee leaf rust (CLR) disease caused by the fungus Hemileia vastatrix forced the geneticist to search for other sources of resistant genes. within ten years it devastated the entire coffee industry. A new epidemic was then discovered during 1971 in Brazil, and from there the pathogen spread over South and Central America in countries whose economies depend on coffee production (Campbell and Madden, 1990; Staples, 2000). (Coutinho et al. In Colombia, the composite varieties Colombia and more recently Castillo® were evaluated for their sensory attributes in different studies (Moreno et al., 1997; Alvarado and Puerta, 2002; Alvarado et al., 2009). avoiding epidemics because monocultures of all crops tend Plant Pathology. The spots are circular and small, about 5 millimeters in diameter, at first, but they often coalesce and form large patches that may be 10 times as large. The alternate host for Coutinho et al. occurs on stems or fruit. The authors speculate In mammals, in contrast, there is a limited genome size variation between species, with genomes typically 3300 Mb in size and TEs representing usually half of the genome (Gregory, 2013). We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. Coffee rust epidemiology and control. These were replaced by the Robusta variety introduced from Central Africa, where they became successful, especially at lower altitudes (de Graaf, 1986). It is further proposed that, in the absence of selection pressures, the life cycle of Hemileia vastatrix on the diploid forest progenitors has remained unchanged and, therefore, that the sexual teliospores are still fully functional, whilst the urediniospores serve only as … This rust is characterized by the formation of non-resting teliospores which germinate in situ and produce … As part of these efforts, different introgressed varieties were developed (e.g., Catimors, Sarchimors) combining high productivity and rust resistance. Young leaves are generally more susceptible to infection than older ones. The species of Hemileia fail in two groups on the basis of presence or absence of telia. Coffee serves as the obligate host of coffee rust, that is, the rust must have access to and come into physical contact with coffee (Coffea sp.) John A. Lucas, in Advances in Food Security and Sustainability, 2017. tritici from its area of origin (Uganda) through the Rift Valley to the Yemen and into central Asia (Singh et al., 2011). 14(8): 671-676. Asian soybean rust, Phakopsora pachyrhizi, was first discovered in Japan and then identified in other regions of tropical and subtropical Asia (Li et al., 2010).

Hemileia vastatrix is the causal agent of coffee leaf rust, the most important disease of coffee Arabica.In this work, a 454-pyrosequencing transcriptome analysis of H. vastatrix germinating urediniospores (gU) and appressoria (Ap) was performed and compared to previously published in planta haustoria-rich (H) data. fungus is largely responsible for the modernization of coffee The function of the basidiospores is unknown because a second host has not been identified. in order to survive. Young leaves year 1 Old leaves year 2 Young leaves year 2 … Therefore, most of the breeders decided to use the Timor hybrid (which is a natural hybrid between C. arabica and C. canephora), highly cross-compatible with Arabica, as the main source of resistant genes. For example, after its escape from botanical gardens in Europe in 1837, Impatiens parviflora from Central Asia and the Himalayas gradually became a dominant species of nutrient-rich forest sites in Europe. Berk. Waller, J. Over time, selection for traits other than resistance to diseases not present in the new environment, combined with agronomic practices that favor pathogen increase (high nutrition, large, dense, and uniform stands), may make the crop particularly vulnerable to attack. Coffee pest and disease management Brown, J; Kenny, Ferreira, S and Boley, The first documentation of this agent appeared in1861. The disease cycle is a simple one. It attacks all species of coffee but is most severe on Coffea arabica. The CLR is, by far, the most serious among foliage diseases. 1995). characterized by yellow-orange powdery lesions on the abaxial Saccas and Charpentier (1969) and Muthappa (1970) reported a stalk rot of leaves caused by Colletotrichum spp. HOSTS: On Coffea arabica, C. canephora, C. liberica, and other Coffea spp. Germination occurs within 5 hours of Once uredia develop, premature falling of infected leaves may occur at any time; sometimes even one uredium is sufficient to cause the leaf to fall. Examples of these situations are found in agricultural (e.g., the Irish potato famine of the 1840s driven by the appearance of Phytophthora infestans and the first appearance of stripe rust of wheat caused by Puccinia striiformis in Australia in 1979), horticultural (e.g., the collapse of the coffee industry in Ceylon in the nineteenth century due to the impact of coffee rust Hemileia vastatrix), and forestry (the worldwide spread of Dothistroma needle blight on Pinus radiata) plantings. Nevertheless, breeding experience showed that when the selection for quality is considered as a major criteria, it is possible to obtain introgressed Arabica varieties with an excellent cup quality (Bertrand et al., 2003). Rust fungi are often categorized by their life cycle. Coffee production, cultivation of the coffee plant, usually done in large commercial operations. This pathotype (and its descendants) are of particular concern because their unique combination of virulence genes renders more than 90% of the world's wheat cultivars and breeding materials susceptible to attack. The risk of soybean rust reaching the United States had been anticipated, and its impact to date has been less than expected, mainly due to less favorable climatic conditions for disease development (Li et al., 2010). (1993) studied appressorium formation. Only a few particular selections such as Laurina, Moka, or Blue Mountain have been endorsed by the market as producing premium quality coffees. Appressoria are produced, which in turn produce vesicles, from which entry into the substomatal cavityis gained. In the basidiomycete fungi, U. maydis, and some Hemileia vastatrix isolates, genome size varies between 20 and 610 Mb (Kämper et al., 2006; http://bioinformatics.cenicafe.org/index.php/wiki/Genome_Size-Chromosome_Number). Uredospores are spread easily by wind, rain, and perhaps by insects. The most traditional varieties like Typica and Bourbon, derived from Yemen populations, as well as some of their mutants such as Caturra, have been long time considered as highly productive and exhibiting a standard cup quality. The rust fungus begins its life cycle as a tiny spore. GEORGE N. AGRIOS, in Plant Pathology (Fifth Edition), 2005. Hemileia vastatrix is a hemicyclic fungus with the urediniosporic life cycle as its most important (if not only) source of inoculum. By 2003 it affected around 90% of the crop in Brazil, with direct losses estimated at 487 US$ million, and fungicide treatments a further US$ 544 million (Yorinori et al., 2005). Although assumed to be heteroecious, the life cycle of H. vastatrix is not completely known. The life cycle of the coffee plant covers three crucial stages: Growth, production, and physiological decay (CONABIO, 2015). of this disease. After successful infection, the leaf blade is colonized and sporulation will occur through the stomata. A NEW TYPE OF NUCLEAR LIFE CYCLE IN HEMILEIA VASTATRIX Richard B. Rajendren (with 15 figures) Since Berkeley (1869) first reported Hemileia vastatrix Berk. Perhaps where the pathogen has been present for some time and causes periodic epidemics, the status of emerging disease should be restricted to special circumstances. Because developing berries provide the strongest physiological sink for carbohydrates, any reduction in photosynthesis on heavily bearing trees will result in carbohydrate starvation of shoots and roots (Cannell, 1970). Predisposing conditions, such as wounding and physiologic damage due to “hot and cold” diseases, are usually required for infection (Firman, 1965). & Br. used. As identified earlier, when a pathogen has been present for some time and causes periodic epidemics, the status of emerging disease should perhaps be restricted to special circumstances where the threat is broad ranging. LIFE CYCLE AND INFECTION PROCESS Hemileia vastatrix is a hemicyclic fungus producing uredinio-spores, teliospores and basidiospores, whereas pycniospores and aeciospores are not known. Urediniospores of other rust fungi are typically round to oval, but in H. vastatrix they are kidney-shaped (Fig. is not. Supported by funding from the United States Agency for International Development, governments in Latin America implemented modernization programs of shade removal coupled with dense plantings of high-yield coffee varieties that respond well to direct sun and chemical inputs; by 1996, 40% of Latin America’s coffee area had been modernized (Rice and Ward, 1996). Crop Protection. H. vastatrix resembles that of other rusts, although Mycological Research. F and Van Asch, M. 1993. this heteroecious organism remains unknown. The effect of leaf age on infection of the life cycle may lead to further advances in the control 97(8): 951-956. Likewise, in coffee plantations, shade trees can be managed to provide optimal light conditions to minimize the risks from pests [e.g., Cercospora coffeicola (coffee berry and leaf blotch), Planococcus citri (citrus mealy bug), Hemileia vastatrix (coffee rust)] and maximize conditions for beneficial fauna and microflora, even in areas with different soils and climate. Carbohydrates in such cases are withdrawn from the remaining leaves and young vegetative tissue, resulting in leaf loss, overbearing stress, and dieback of young shoots and roots (Cannell, 1970). Chlorotic spots are the first macroscopic symptoms, preceding the differentiation of suprastomatal, bouquet-shaped, orange-coloured uredinia.
